About the role

DLA Piper is seeking entry-level attorneys to join our Private Equity practice in the Fall of 2027 in our Atlanta and Chicago offices. Applicants should be current third year law students with an anticipated graduation date of spring 2027. We value innovators and collaborative teamwork. This non-partnership track position offers a comprehensive training program and exposure to client projects across practices, while maintaining a reduced billable hours requirement.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
